What is #GivingTuesday?

The worldwide charitable campaign #GivingTuesday falls on the heels of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. People across the globe embrace this day of giving in the height of consumerism around the holidays. This day reminds people to give back in a meaningful way rather than getting caught up in shopping days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. On this day, people throughout the world make the commitment to support a charity through the gift of time, donations, or goods. Since its start in 2012, #GivingTuesday has grown year after year with $300 million donated online during the day last year.  You can participate #eGivingTuesday by providing your support to any or all of the Diocese of San José appeal through the Donate Here web page.
